War criminal Ratko Mladic was arrested yesterday in Serbia, where he was hiding from justice under an assumed name. Time’s Mark Benjamin has this excerpt from Mladic’s indictment, with horrifying details of his massacre of thousands of Muslim prisoners.

Between 12 July and about 20 July 1995, thousands of Bosnian Muslim men were captured by, or surrendered to, Bosnian Serb Forces under the command and control of General Ratko MLADIC. Over 7,000 Bosnian Muslim prisoners captured in the area around Srebrenica were summarily executed from 13 July to 19 July 1995. Killings continued thereafter. From about 1 August 1995 through about 1 November 1995, VRS units under the command and control of General Ratko MLADIC participated in an organised and comprehensive effort to conceal the killings and executions of the Bosnian Muslims of Srebrenica by reburying, in isolated locations, bodies exhumed from mass graves.

“The Serbs dared to fight.”It’s important to note that one of the most relentless whitewashers of Mladic’s monstrous crimes is none other than anti-Muslim lunatic Pamela Geller, and the reason is obvious: Mladic slaughtered Muslims, and that makes him an ally of Geller, Robert Spencer, and the rest of their thuggish crowd.

In her usual weasely fashion, Geller tries to have it both ways; she cheers on Mladic for “daring to fight,” but at the same time posts numerous articles at her website denying the genocide at Srebrenica as “a lie.” For example:

Instead of admitting their terrible mistake, the dhimmi Western powers are digging in their heels and further prosecuting the Serbs in their sisyphean and thankless efforts to stop Islamic imperialism.

Look, there are no heroes in the Bosnian conflict, but the Muslim atrocities were far worse. The Serbs dared to fight. That’s what this is all about. As Gorin so succinctly put it, “They are guilty of ….. daring to answer war with war.” The question is, why would the Western powers send in troops and pave the way for a militant Islamic state in the heart of Europe? The catastrophic consequences have not yet manifested themselves, but they will impact the geopolitical landscape in what promises to be a bloody 21st century.

[2.100] What! whenever they make a covenant, a party of them cast it aside? Nay, most of them do not believe.
[2.101] And when there came to them an Apostle from Allah verifying that which they have, a party of those who were given the Book threw the Book of Allah behind their backs as if they knew nothing.
[2.102] And they followed what the Shaitans chanted of sorcery in the reign of Sulaiman, and Sulaiman was not an unbeliever, but the Shaitans disbelieved, they taught men sorcery and that was sent down to the two angels at Babel, Harut and Marut, yet these two taught no man until they had said, “Surely we are only a trial, therefore do not be a disbeliever.” Even then men learned from these two, magic by which they might cause a separation between a man and his wife; and they cannot hurt with it any one except with Allah’s permission, and they learned what harmed them and did not profit them, and certainly they know that he who bought it should have no share of good in the hereafter and evil was the price for which they sold their souls, had they but known this.
[2.103] And if they had believed and guarded themselves (against evil), reward from Allah would certainly have been better; had they but known (this).
[2.104] O you who believe! do not say Raina and say Unzurna and listen, and for the unbelievers there is a painful chastisement.
[2.105] Those who disbelieve from among the followers of the Book do not like, nor do the polytheists, that the good should be sent down to you from your Lord, and Allah chooses especially whom He pleases for His mercy, and Allah is the Lord of mighty grace.
[2.106] Whatever communications We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring one better than it or like it. Do you not know that Allah has power over all things?
[2.107] Do you not know that Allah’s is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and that besides Allah you have no guardian or helper?
[2.108] Rather you wish to put questions to your Apostle, as Musa was questioned before; and whoever adopts unbelief instead of faith, he indeed has lost the right direction of the way.
[2.109] Many of the followers of the Book wish that they could turn you back into unbelievers after your faith, out of envy from themselves, (even) after the truth has become manifest to them; but pardon and forgive, so that Allah should bring about His command; surely Allah has power over all things.

Poor Pamela Geller. Now she wants to hold Ratko Mladic’s hand and say There, there, it’ll be all right. I wonder if she has the guts to say the things she has been saying directly to the surviving family members of those who were killed under Mladic’s direction? This is like cheering for Hitler and saying he dared to fight. What I want to know is, now that Mladic has been captured and will be tried, when do we capture Radovan Karadzic?

Eric, Karadzic was arrested a couple years ago; he & Mladic are now neighbors again, in The Hague.

Fifty years after Hitler’s fall, war crimes are being committed in Bosnia on a level reminiscent of Nazi Germany.

The atrocities, carried out mainly by Serbs but also by Croats, cry out for punishment. So far, the U.N. and other international organizations have deliberately been dilatory in tackling them.

Ratko Mladic was just continuing the Crusades. Or, you can think of it as a Serbian version of the kind of racism we express every day in the U.S. when we get all hincty about having a president named Barack Obama, at this late day in history.

Your only question about Serbians need be, did they fight on Hitler’s side or did they fight on the Communist side?

Personally, I was cheered but I suppose Poppy Bush was making this stuff up after Afghanistan when he said that Osama bin Laden retired from the field and was taking his mujidhadeen to Serbia to protect the indigenous Muslim population from the Serbian Nazi allies who always were anti-semitic, you know. Tell me, did he ever get there? Or, was he already hiding out in unfathomable Pakistan?

As soon as I started reading the 1st post, I knew it was that mike character…..

Always & forever devising his own mistranslation and misinterpretation of the words in the Holy Qur’an. Now, if he would be read the words in their proper context, he wouldn’t even spend the time to cut-n-paste them on this site.
